Iran
said it has sent a monkey to space in a move toward an eventual human space
mission. In today’s experiment, Fargam the monkey reached the height of 120 km. After 15 minutes into the flight, the mission control released the
monkey in a parachute capsule. Fargam the monkey was recovered safely. Scientists say they were measuring the monkey's physical state following the flight. (IRIB, 14 December)

What's funny is that this is supposed to scare the west into fearing Iran's ballistic missiles -- the west needs to wake up to the kind of scum they are dealing with and do to them what it did to Iraq, rather than wasting time.
The fact that you think Iran and Iraq are comparable, destroys any credibility you might have had. Do yourself a favour and learn something about the world that wasn't told to you by American or zionist mainstream media.
The Westrshould do to Iran the same catastrophe of iraq
you donot recignize that greatest Scum are you yourself.
a frustrated Zionist, I guess.
f.ck off here.
Why repeat something that has been already proven nearly sixty years ago?
That's like saying, "why give women rights when it's already been done 60 years ago?" It's nonsensical.
"The fact that you think Iran and Iraq are comparable"
They're not comparable at all -- look what Iraq did to Iran. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawakalna_ala_Allah_Operations
And here's what your murdering thieving terrorist leader said after Saddam put him in his place:
"Happy are those who have departed through martyrdom. Happy are those who have lost their lives in this convoy of light. Unhappy am I that I still survive and have drunk the poisoned chalice..."
many reasons why other nations would seek to repeat it and find out if they've mastered the technology
Why teach your kids how to read and write, seeing as it has been done for millenniums now?
The reason the Russians and the US sent dogs and monkeys into space was to see if living creatures can survive in outer space. Now that has been proven,why repeat and waste resources trying to duplicate something achieved back in the 1950s?

Makes you wonder why the chinese have sent a rover to the moon when the russians did it forty years ago,right?
Its to show that you can,you moron,you dont just start out by sending people into space you start with animals,iran ultimately wants to send people,the first step is to send living creatures and to bring them back alive,iran has done this,good on them

You do realise that saddam failed to achieve even a single one of his military objectives,unless of course you count bankrupting his country as one of these,saddams only "success" was that he just managed to hold onto iraq and even then it took the support of the west,the soviets and the arabs to allow him to do that.Theres nothing for iraq to crow about the war with iran was a complete disaster for iraq and lead directly to saddam turning on kuwait and his humiliation at the hands of the coalition,tho` I suppose you think that was another great "iraqi victory" because saddam survived [by the skin of his teeth]
Read the link above; he got everything he asked for in 1988 by beating the terrorist regime into submission. That's a fraction of what the west would do to Iran.

If that is your definition of military success,then I hate to see your definition of complete and utter failure.Saddam started a war of aggression that aimed to conquer parts of iran,in the end he gained no iranian territory,he bankrupted his nation and he was very fortunate to just survive,and all of this while having the support of the west,the soviets and the arabs,if you want to pretend that this is some sort of success instead of abject failure then be my guest but the only person you`re fooling is yourself,you probably believe that saddam won a stunning victory against the coalition in 1991 because they didnt bother going to baghdad to finish him off.The irony is that many people would agree that saddam did get "everything he asked for" both in 88 and 91,he got humiliating defeats

Thats funny,I could`ve sworn I was looking at a picture of bibi netanyahu,but that would be insulting to monkeys
too much nepotism and favoritism.
once again, the choice assignments and prestigious jobs go to a high-ranking IRGC officer.... even more Colonel Fargam is rumored to be a great-grandson of Khomeini.

I've seen your comments a lot on this blog. You really try too hard, especially when you keep peddling the "poison chalice" quote, despite Saddam having numerical and technological superiority (for the most part) and not gaining a single inch of Iranian land. And now where is your Saddam and where is Iran? You hate terrorists, but praise Saddam! I know anger usually leads to irrationality, but you really take that cake.
If you are Iranian, then shame on you. You're on par with Rajavi cult leaders
The regime stands for ideological insanity, intolerance , terrorism, religious fanaticism ,lawlessness, irresponsibility, ugliness of Islam, anti democratic repression, economic incompetence - no amount of 2. world war technology makes any impression on the world except making the mullah regime and their supporters look more ridiculous than before; democracy at home and recognition of Israel abroad will generate respect - nothing else ...
Iraq won in 1988 and lost in 1991. He took iran's "divine" leader and its "divine" military and beat them into a humiliating submission and drove 50 km into iran and could have driven more. Even the filthy terrorist thief Khomeini and rafsanjani admitted was a defeat.
In 1991 in a short period the u.s. crushed the army that had decimated iran in 1988.
Unfortunately Iranians don't learn from words and ideas because the regime and its supporters are inherently dishonest - which is great news for those wanting to see iran put in its place once more.
I really enjoyed seeing iran's economic less exposed via the sanctions. Maybe we'll get to see these liars get physically or into their place.
The fact that zionists demand "respect" shows that they don't even know the meaning of the word.
Iran’s ability to send Fargam the monkey 120 km into space was an important step in its space program; and a manifestation of the country’s ability to reach notable scientific achievements in a very difficult environment.

You keep on trying to portray this as tho 1988 was a separate war that had nothing to do with 80-87,you ignore the rest of the war and the fact that saddam had accepted the cease fire terms years before when his attempts to conquer iranian territory met with disaster,the only things that saddam achieved was the bankrupting and bleeding white of iraq,in 88 despite having the backing of the west and the soviets and the arabs he failed to achieve anything except his own survival,if thats your idea of a great victory then I`d hate to see your idea of a humiliating defeat,I`m amazed you`re even conceding that he was humiliated in 91,I`m amazed you`re not trying to portray that as a great victory.The simple truth is this saddam started two wars and was defeated in both,the fact that he was able to cling on to power does not negate his defeats at the hands of the iranians or the coalition

Well said
I think this guy is probably a pissed of iraqi probably a baathist who has seen the total destruction of everything he held dear,he saw his country loose 3 wars,get occupied by the americans,,he had to watch iran go from strength to strength while sanctions and bombs decimated iraq,and now iraq is ruled by a shia government that is friendly to iran,under those very painful circumstances its not at all surprising that he is desperate to try and spin one part of the iran iraq war as some sort of victory for iraq,what he seems desperate to ignore is the fact that saddam "drunk the poisoned chalice" first,he wants to pretend that this is some iraqi victory against "iranian aggression" when it was the iraqis who started the war and failed to achieve even a single one of its war aims
Bache beadab.

"and recognition of Israel abroad"
Just another hasbara troll,tell me mr troll do they pay you by the word or by the hour?
Typical islamic imbeciles: dodge the subject and attack the messenger, Yes, I get paid by this or that - that does not change the facts about Islamic Republic; attacking Israel is all you are capable of, but attacking Israel does not make your point of view valid or intelligent or constructive or anything else - you are the same idiot as before (ha ha ha) ...
At least you admitted that you are a hasbara shill. That's a good start.
AnonymousDecember 16, 2013 at 5:18 AM
When your message contains "recognition of Israel abroad will generate respect" do you really expect to get taken seriously as a messenger?
What is your problem with making peace? I do not understand what kind twisted view you have, but what is the result of the current policy of Islamic republic ? Iran is isolated and bankrupt; but I see, Islamists love that, right ?
"What is your problem with making peace?" A good question, for zionists. They obviously don't want to, preferring to continue their occupation and the conflicts that result from it.
aha, I did not know Israel was occupying Iranian Land? But Parasites like you mis-take plundering Iran with their moral duty - that is what Islam mean to you - right?

Anon 1:42 AM......Looks like the clock has been turned back even further to the time of the sand bedouins of the 7th century. You seem to approve of all the lying,thieving,rapes,tortures and executions of Iranian nation by the islamic terror regime right?
Anon 4:59 PM.......In case you forgot women have no rights under the islamic occupying regime.Only islamic murderers and terrorists have rights.
Inn case you forgot, non-zionists have few rights under the zionist regime. Only zionist terrorists do.
